56 * XDR an indirect pointer
57 * xdr_reference is for recursively translating a structure that is

59 * translated. pp references a pointer to storage. If *pp is null
60 * the necessary storage is allocated.
61 * size is the sizeof the referneced structure.
62 * proc is the routine to handle the referenced structure.
